description The present research aims to understand the sociocultural process faced by the traditional midwives of San Felipe del Progreso, in which structures and practices that are different from each other —such as the traditional and modern health systems— meet and allow the emergence of new interpretations, practices and objects in the care of pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium. For this, it is necessary to divide the investigation into different sections. At first, the article delves into the concept of modernity and how it is seen in Latin America; in the same way, the way it manifests itself in Mexico is mentioned, understood as the succession of various modernization processes that have arisen in the economic, social, political and cultural spheres. Once the above is understood, it is possible to discuss the concept of the hybrid, taking up the premise that these modernization processes are established in a space that had different ways of looking at and constructing reality, a vision that is reflected in the health / illness / attention. In a second moment, the phenomenon is observed in a specific community, namely, San Felipe del Progreso, which accounts, from its context, of the encounter between these two ways of looking at the health-disease-care process, which on the one hand are characterized by “more traditional models of care” (configured from the pre-Hispanic tradition), in communication with modernizing processes. Based on this approach, the present investigation takes up, temporarily, events that influence the configuration of these modernizing processes from 1808 to 2016, but the focus is on observing such an encounter (traditional model and modern model) in the present. In the third section, the category of hybrid is retaken as an analysis tool or explanation resource. From the fragments of the life histories obtained from the midwives, described in the fourth section, it is possible to recognize the processes of communication and “hybrid” practice used by these medical specialists. In the fifth section, the results of the research are presented, emphasizing the hybrid seen from the training and training of midwives, and the knowledge acquired, as well as the materials and support techniques. We conclude by generating a series of arguments that allow us to argue why the hybrid can be a means of explanation for the encounter between forms (ancestral and modern) of care for pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, via community midwives.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo comprender el proceso sociocultural que enfrentan las parteras tradicionales de San Felipe del Progreso, en el que estructuras y prácticas distintas entre sí —como son el sistema tradicional y el moderno de salud— se encuentran y permiten la aparición de nuevas interpretaciones, prácticas y objetos en la atención del embarazo, el parto y el puerperio. Para ello resulta necesario dividir la investigación en diferentes apartados. En un primer momento, se ahonda en el concepto de modernidad y cómo es vista en Latinoamérica; de igual forma se menciona la manera en que se manifiesta en México, comprendida como la sucesión de diversos procesos de modernización suscitados en el ámbito económico, social, político y cultural. Una vez comprendido lo anterior, es posible discutir el concepto de lo híbrido, retomando la premisa de que dichos procesos de modernización se establecen en un espacio que contaba con formas distintas de mirar y construir la realidad, visión que se refleja en los procesos salud/enfermedad/atención. En un segundo momento, se observa el fenómeno en una comunidad concreta, a saber, San Felipe del Progreso, que da cuenta, desde su contexto, del encuentro entre estas dos formas de mirar el proceso salud-enfermedad-atención, que por un lado están caracterizados por los modelos, llamémosles, más tradicionales de cuidado (configurados a partir de la tradición prehispánica), en comunicación con los procesos modernizadores. Partiendo de tal planteamiento, la presente investigación retoma, temporalmente, eventos que influyen en la configuración de dichos procesos modernizadores desde 1808 hasta 2016, pero la atención se centra en la observación de tal encuentro (modelo tradicional y modelo moderno) en el presente. En el tercer apartado, se retoma la categoría de lo híbrido como una herramienta de análisis o recurso de explicación. A partir de los fragmentos de las historias de vida obtenidos vía las parteras, descritas en el cuarto apartado, es posible reconocer los procesos de comunicación y práctica “híbrida” utilizados por estos especialistas médicos. En el quinto apartado, se exponen los resultados de la investigación, haciendo énfasis en lo híbrido visto desde la formación y capacitación de las parteras, y los conocimientos adquiridos, así como los materiales y las técnicas de apoyo. Concluimos la presente investigación generando una serie de argumentos que nos permiten sostener por qué lo híbrido puede ser un medio de explicación para el encuentro entre formas (ancestral y moderna) de atención del embarazo, el parto y el puerperio, vía las parteras de la comunidad.
